I'm having problem getting my transfer case to shift . I can get nutral or 4low , but when I try to get 2 high or 4 high I cant get the stick to move . Any suggestions where to start to solve the problem ? Thanks in advance .

Hi keith! I dunno why these knuckleheads haven't answered you yet. Is the truck driveable?

Yes the truck is driven daily, the selector is in the neutral position and that's my 2wd . I have pushed down and pulled up on the selector and can't get it to move .

Well I'm an idiot . When I would push in on on the selector I would try to push forward toward the dash . Well this morning I got it to work . I also thought it was going into 4 low because of how much torque there was. I have to say I love my truck and can't wait to try 4low

haha no worries, you're not the first to do this.
These trucks a pretty deep differential gearing from the factory the t-case low range is 2.02:1 which is ok but isn't terribly deep.
